Greenville Privacy Notice

This notice describes information handled when someone visits the Greenville County release-record reference, uses an outside search box, or sends a message. It also explains common cookies, sharing, security limits, and available privacy choices.

Information That May Be Collected

A search entered in a sponsored search box passes directly to the third-party provider that runs it. This site may receive referral or event data but does not control the provider's copy of the query. A message sent through a contact route may include the sender's name, address, email, and any text voluntarily supplied. Web servers and analytics services may also record device type, browser, IP address, referring page, viewed pages, and approximate location.


Cookies and Similar Tools

Cookies and related browser storage may keep preferences, measure visits, support security, or help advertising and referral partners count activity. Browser controls can block or delete cookies. Some features may work less well after those controls are applied.


How Information Is Used

Collected information may be used to operate and secure the site, answer a message, understand which Greenville County resources help readers, diagnose errors, measure traffic, and meet legal duties. Search data handled by a partner is also governed by that partner's policy.


Who May Receive Data

Information may be shared with search partners, hosting and technical vendors, analytics providers, and advertising networks when needed for their service. It may also be disclosed to law enforcement or another authority when required by a valid legal order, or when reasonably needed to protect rights, safety, or site security. Personal information is not promised to remain within one state because vendors may process it elsewhere.


Links Beyond This Site

Links to Greenville County, South Carolina agencies, court systems, VINELink, BOP, ICE, and other sites leave this privacy notice. Those operators set their own collection and retention rules. Read their notices before submitting a name, identifier, or contact information.


Data Security Limits

Reasonable safeguards may reduce risk, but no web transmission or storage system is completely secure. Do not send Social Security numbers, payment card details, passwords, or sensitive case material through a general contact message.


Children and Minors

This site is not directed to anyone under 18 and does not knowingly seek personal information from minors. A parent or guardian who believes a minor supplied data may use the Contacts page to request review.


Your Privacy Choices

Depending on applicable law, a user may ask to know, correct, or delete personal information supplied directly to this site, or may object to certain processing. Browser settings can manage cookies. Requests cannot control records held by Greenville County, SCDC, courts, search partners, or other independent operators. South Carolina public-record access under S.C. Code Title 30, Chapter 4 concerns government records and does not replace these privacy choices.


Changes to This Notice

This privacy notice may be revised when site practices, vendors, or legal duties change. A revised version takes effect when posted. Continued use after posting means the updated notice applies to later activity.


Privacy Questions

Questions or requests about information supplied directly to this site may be sent through the Contacts page. Contact the originating agency for a government record.
